Re: 3.3.3 PTR - Renewed Hope

it is making sure 25 people in the raid don't get the same buffs refreshed every few seconds, which has been causing fps-issues to countless players since the introduction of raid-wide buffs.

Ya i guess you're right. looking at the Patch Notes....a ton of procs are being converted to baseline/flat % increase. Im guessing with all the weapons/trinket procs Blizz wants to push for, they need to reduce the rest of procs so combat logs/FPS stop going nuts.

I'm not entirely wrong, it does up strengthens the uptime % of the buff. And considering they also increased the range of a lot of buffs(thus increasing uptime %), one can assume that was, at least, part of their intentions.

Re: 3.3.3 PTR - Renewed Hope

A lot of buffs seems to be getting this overhall. Pretty much any buff which is raid-wide and a proc/on hit is being turned into an aura, and they are clearing out some of the clutter.

I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
